« on: December 22, 2013, 07:46:02 PM »
Went and helped a mate pickup a new game today and on arrived saw a game I've never seen before and it was very unique with a weird flipper arrangement lol and I think multiball and this guy had a beautiful volcano geez it played fast an awesome looking game. Anyone else seen a Striker?

I've only seen it in pictures before but didn't notice the flipper set up. It looks pretty cool, I'd imagine if you were into soccer this would be a very desirable pin. That backglass looks fantastic. Volcano looks the goods too, sounds like the guy has some unique games, what were you picking up?

With all these classics around we picked up a sega viper lol but it was nice looking at all the great old games including EM's :-) the one below is odd but nice art even had a metal cab on the sides

I like the look of Horror.  Haven't seen or heard of one of those before.

Just checked the IPDB, it is a conversion kit of Zaccaria's Space Shuttle.  Geez, you'd think that would be a very rare machine.

Yep, the Horror is very cool. Never seen or heard of that one before. Hard to go past a "magic hole flashing" to.

Yeah the glass had Zaccaria printed on it awesome artwork and fast :-) he said the striker was the only one in OZ.

I can't see the connection between horror and the bottom half of the back glass being from the movie Dune.

Never seen the soccer game before but was thinking the flippers looked like Rocky.   Geez every time I play my mates Rocky it does my head in so different and fun.

Pretty sure that striker is the same one. Don't quote me but the back glass may be a copy as a few of the sys 80A's had copied back glasses such as the Devils Dare.

That Horror came from PSPA too about 18 months ago. i had a few bids on it  #@# If its for sale let me know.

Cool I think that's where they come from I just thought they where different from the normal everyday pins I normally come across. No there not for sale unfortunately.
